Did you check this

 

exceute the following procedure for all dll and exe files of the DirectOutput installtion:

• Right click the DLL file and select Properties in the context menu.
• Select the General tab in the properties window.
• If you find the text _"This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer" or somthing similar on this tab, click the Unblock button. This should fix the issue.

If the text about the file coming from another computer does not exist, everthing should be fine.

Yes, checked that as well, nothing

 

Is it possible I need to run these in "compatibility mode"?

[Outhere]

No

I have ran windows 7 and 10 and I have never used compatibility mode on any software

Did you try this -- DirectOutputConfigTester.exe

[bjschneider93]

The config tester doesn't seem to do anything for me, partly why I feel like I must be missing something yet

 

Even after running the config editor I still doen' have an .ini files

[Outhere]

Yes I think you might have the ini file in your config folder but you don't have file extension showing

[bjschneider93]

does your file structure look similar?  Can you see anything that you have that I don't (other than working LED's )

[Outhere]

This is my config folder

I also have a Sainsmart Board and Ledwiz

I am definately missing the .ini files. Any idea how to create them. Or maybe I could copy yours?

[Outhere]

take a picture of your settings on the dof config tool website?

[bjschneider93]

I only have it configured for 1 strip until I get it working. Then I will add more

Yours is set up different than mine so that may be the reason why it's not working...if you go to the first post, at the bottom of that post - it tells you how to set up the ports

Tried that. Still not working

[Outhere]

When you download the configuration file from the website and after you unzip it what files are in there

[bjschneider93]

I reinstalled”teensystripcontroller” and now I have 1 led almost in the middle of the strand that is lit blue all the time but none of the others light up

[Outhere]

They go in the config folder

I'm running out of ideals

[bjschneider93]

Yes. The config folder is where I have them
I’m thinking it may be time to reinstall everything

Any idea why I would have just 1 blue led?

[Outhere]

Is This is the way you have it hooked up?

 

+5V power to the (red) and GND to (white)

Only the CAT6 orange is hooked up to the green wire

The CAT6 white & orange wire is hooked to the ground

The light strip should be marked with arrows to show the signal flow direction

[bjschneider93]

Yes. That is the way I have it hooked up
Does it matter that I am using CAT5? I’m guessing not because it functions fine running “strandtest”
